Arvantos continued. "Don't think this bloodline gets handed out just because someone plays favorites. It doesn't. Even if I wanted to give it, the receiver would first have to survive it. This bloodline has the deepest connection to the origin of the Primordial Race, and the conditions needed to carry it are terrifyingly high."
His gaze moved over all ten of them. "As for who gets which bloodline, the answer is simple. It comes down entirely to your body, your foundation, your compatibility, your soul, your potential, and a lot of other hidden factors."
He turned around. "Come. The next stage is waiting."

Before long, they arrived at a huge structure hidden behind seven layers of ancient formations. It was a circular hall built from pale gold stone, yet the stone itself seemed alive, almost like condensed bloodline essence.
